KNOX Hey Spaz, Spaz.
CAMERON Brain damage.
KEATING Well come on.
KEATING "Oh Captain, My Captain" who
knows where that comes from?
Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt
Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now
in this class you can call me Mr. Keating.
Or, if you're slightly more daring,
Captain, My Captain.
Now let me dispel a few rumors so they
don't fester into facts. Yes, I too attended
Hell-ton and survived. And no, at that time
I was not the mental giant you see before
you. I was the intellectual equivalent of a
ninety-eight pound weakling. I would go to
the beach and people would kick copies of
Byron in my face.
Now, Mr… Pitts. That's a rather unfortunate
name. Mr. Pitts, where are you?
Mr. Pitts, would you open your hymnal to
page 542 and read the first stanza of the
poem you find there?
PITTS "To the virgins, to make much of
time"?
KEATING Yes, that's the one. Somewhat
appropriate, isn't it.
PITTS "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
old time is still a flying, and this same
flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be
dying."
KEATING Thank you Mr. Pitts. "Gather ye
rosebuds while ye may." The Latin term for
that sentiment is Carpe Diem. Now who
knows what that means?
MEEKS Carpe Diem. That's "seize the day."
KEATING
Very good, Mr.
MEEKS
Meeks.
KEATING Meeks. Another unusual name.
Seize the
day. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
Why does the writer use these lines?
CHARLIE Because he's in a hurry.
KEATING No, ding!
KEATING Thank you for playing anyway.
Oh Because we are food for worms lads.
Because, believe it or not, each and every
one of us in this room is one day going
to stop breathing, turn cold, and die.
Now I would like you to step forward over
here and peruse some of the faces from
the past. You've walked past them many
times. I don't think you've really looked at
them.
They're not that different from you, are
they? Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just
like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The
world is their oyster. They believe they're
destined for great things, just like many of
you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like
you. Did they wait until it was too late to
make from their lives even one iota of
what they were capable? Because you see
gentlmen, these boys are now fertilizing
daffodils. But if you listen real close, you
can hear them whisper their legacy to you.
Go on, lean in.
Carpe. Hear it? Carpe. Carpe Diem. Seize
the day boys, make your lives
extraordinary.
PITTS That was weird.
NEIL But different.
KNOX Spooky if you ask me.

KEATING The Dead Poets were dedicated
to sucking the marrow out of life. That's a

the beginning of each meeting. You see
we'd gather at the old Indian cave and
take turns reading from Thoreau, Whitman,
Shelley; the biggies. Even some of our own

NEIL Right. They're putting it on at Henley

TODD Yes, so?
NEIL So, I'm gonna act. Yes, yes! I'm
gonna be an actor! Ever since

tried to go to summer stock auditions last
year, but, of course, my father wouldn't let
me. For the first time in my whole life I
know what I wanna do.
and for the first time I'm gonna do it
whether my father wants me to or not!

are you gonna be in a play if your father
won't let you?
NEIL First I gotta get the part, then I can
worry about that.
TODD Yeah, but won't he kill you if he
finds out you went to an audition and
didn't even tell him?
NEIL No, no, no, no. As far
concerned, he won't have to know about
any of this.
TODD Well, that's impossible.
NEIL Bullshit! Nothing's impossible.
TODD Well, why don't you just call him
and ask him? And m-maybe he'll say yes.
NEIL That's a laugh!
If I don't ask him, at least I won't be
disobeying him.
TODD Yeah, but if he said--
NEIL Jesus, Todd! Whose side are you on?
I mean, I haven't even gotten the part yet.
Can't I even enjoy the idea for a little

KNOX I didn't mean to make a fool out of
you.
CHRIS Well, you did. Chet found out. And
it took everything I could do to keep him
from coming here and killing you. Knox,
you have got to stop this stuff.
KNOX I can't, Chris. I love you.
CHRIS Knox, you say that over and over.
You don't, you don't even know me.
KEATING Will you be joining us, Mr.
Overstreet?
KNOX Go ahead, Captain. I'll walk.
CHRIS Knox, Knox, it just so happens that I
could care less about you?
KNOX Then you wouldn't be here warning
me about Chet.
CHRIS I have to go. I'm gonna be late for
the play.
KNOX Are you going with him?
CHRIS Chet? To a play? Are you kidding?
KNOX Then come with me.
CHRIS Knox, you are so infuriating.
KNOX Come on, Chris. Just give me one
chance. If you don't like me after tonight,
I'll stay away forever.
CHRIS Uh-huh.
KNOX I promise. Dead Poets Honor. You
come with me tonight. And then, if you
don't want to see me again, I swear I'll
bow out.
CHRIS You know what would happen if
Chet found out?
KNOX He won't know anything. We'll sit in
the back and sneak away as soon as it's
over.
CHRIS And I suppose you would promise
that this would be the end of it.
KNOX Dead Poets Honor.
CHRIS What is that?

FAIRY Either I mistake your shape and

and knavish sprite Call'd Robin Goodfellow:
PUCK Thou speak'st aright;
PUCK I am that merry wanderer of the
night. I jest to Oberon and make him
smile When I a fat and bean-fed horse
beguile,
Neighing in likeness of a filly foal: And
sometime lurk I in a gossip's bowl, In very
likeness of a roasted crab, And when she
drinks, against her lips I bob And on her
wither'd dewlap pour the ale. The wisest
aunt, telling the saddest tale.
CHARLIE He's good. He's really good.
PUCK Sometime for three-foot
mistaketh me; Then slip I from her bum,
down topples she, And "tailor" cries, and
falls into a cough; And then the whole
quire hold their hips and laugh, And waxen
in their mirth and neeze and swear
A merrier hour was never wasted there.
But, room, Fairy! here comes Oberon.
FAIRY And here my mistress. Would that
he were gone!

HERMIA Lysander riddles very prettily: Now
much beshrew my manners and my pride,
If Hermia meant to say Lysander lied. But,
gentle friend, for love and courtesy Lie
further off; in human modesty,
separation as may well be said Becomes a
virtuous bachelor and a maid, and, good
night, sweet friend: Thy love ne'er alter till
thy sweet life end!
LYSANDER Amen, amen, to that fair prayer,
say I;
DIRECTOR Neil. That's your cue, Neil. Come
on, Neil. Here's your crown. Let's go.
PUCK If we shadows have offended, Think
but this, and all is mended, That you have
but slumber'd here While these visions did
appear. And this weak and idle theme, No
more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do
not reprehend: If you pardon, we will
mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we
have unearned luck Now to 'scape the
serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere
long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good
night unto you all. Give me your hands, if
we be friends, And Robin shall restore
amends.
